Big Sean has always been a stylish dude. The Detroit rapper doesn't mess around when it comes to streetwear. He's always seen in the freshest gear from Bape to BBC Ice Cream to 10.Deep and even during Kanye's Rosewood days, Sean rocked suits and rose gold jewelry like a black tie natural. We're all hyped to hear his new album, Finally Famous, set to drop in May and only expect bigger things to come from the G.O.O.D. Music artist. So in honor of his 23rd birthday, jam to "My Last" and check out Big Sean's Style History from 2007 until now...
